November 20, 2012 // 9:18 pm - Following up on his previous version, today PlayStation 3 developer Rogero has updated his PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) to CEX 4.30 and 4.21 version 2.00 with the changes outlined below alongside a new multiMAN v04.12.00 release followed by multiMAN v04.13.00.

To quote: This CFW4.21 is almost the same as the 4.30 version except it have some add-ons that can't be added to ver 4.30 currently:

1- It does have the default "Install Package Files" node on XMB. (no need to have multiMAN installed before using it)
2- It does have LV1 Checks Disabled and can be used directly instead of Rogero3.55 v3.7 while downgrading with Hardware Flashers.
3- It does have the Proper Cinavia Disabled Files for the users who needs it.

This CFW was tested on most PS3 Models by different testers and no problems were encountered. But as any CFW release you must install it with caution and by following proper instructions, No one will be held responsible for any damage caused.

Rogero CFW4.30/4.21 v2.00 Details

4.30 v2.00

Rebuilt from scratch using OFW4.30 files only (no DEX/SEX files) with official XMB and full features working as in OFW4.30

All known problems like XMB icons sorting and Demo Mode issues from v 1.04 are now all gone with the use of the official XMB.

Removed the classical "Install Package Files" Icon from XMB to have a 100% original XMB (no DEX/SEX files used).

Installing Package Files can be done from multiMAN 04.12.00 (XMMB Home column or MMOS File Manager).

Patched LV1 to disable LV2 Protection.

Patched LV1 to add peek/poke support to replace hvc 182/183 (multiMAN Direct Disc Access is now working fine with CFW4.21/4.30 v2.00)

PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current "passphrase" still the same.

Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.

It can run games signed with Keys up to version 4.30 without any Eboot/Sprx patching needed

Games can be loaded from Disc Icon (with Original game in BD) and from app_home (Disc-less, but not all games).

Current 3.55 homebrew applications can't be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly for FW4.21/4.30

4.21 v2.00 - Same Features as CEX_4.30 v2.00 plus the following add-ons:

1- It does have the default "Install Package Files" node on XMB. (no need to have multiMAN installed before using it)
2- It does have LV1 Checks Disabled and can be used directly instead of Rogero3.55 v3.7 while downgrading with Hardware Flashers.
3- It does have the Proper Cinavia Disabled Files for the users who needs it.

Hi, I am a newbie when it comes to jailbreak a ps3. I have downloaded this CFW in my USB key and it detected it with the CFW in my super slim 4k. After reading User Agreement, I see that it says that it's unauthorized to install software or put hardware that will make me have cracked games.

But I think it's saying that as default. Then I read that there is Stealthman, Toolbox and mutliman stuff. What do they do? And will I be to install a software in this CFW that will make me have free games? Help me quick pl0x! Thanks!

yes you can do that via recovery menu without a flasher (its much dangerous to do things via flasher, even in downgrading process, that's why a good NAND/NOR backup is necessary before doing anything on flash) but I dont see reason why you need to downgrade (except if you want some homebrews that only works on certain firmware version) specially if you use your PS3 mainly for backups

Hello, basically i wanted to update my ps3 cfw i am on Rogero 4.41 v1.0 but is it fine to update over cfw, i haven't done this in a while since new games are coming out and required the 4,46 fw i need to update or is it best to not to because since there's a few stables cfw so what would you all suggest to do? the best alternative ?

also once i update can i revert back to some other cfw like if i am not satisfied can i revert back to Rogero 4.41 or i have to use a flasher to get back to stock and re do the whole process again.
